That sounds like solipsism, I have a hard time with that.

It's not solipsistic because it does not deny that things exist in conventional reality. When the Dalai gets on a plane he knows it's a plane, says yes this a plane no problem. If you take apart a plane you are left with a pile of metal, what happened to the plane, where did it go, at what point did the plane cease being a plan and become a pile of metal. These are arbitrary distinctions. The plane and it's non-existence are inextricably bound. It's not about one or the other, it's about taking both together, they're inter-dependently arisen, you cannot separate them for your own nefarious ends <g>
